Missions Ministry
We believe mission involvement is the natural result of a real faith. When our hearts are filled by God, we naturally want to share God’s love with others.
Every person has a mission and their own place to serve. Finding a place of service and becoming the presence of Christ to others is the first step in building the kind of relationships that will take Christ’s love to the world.
Following Christ’s command to “Go therefore and make disciples,” our church supports missions through our praying, our serving, our going, and our giving. Below is a sampling of ways our congregation works to serve and share with people and communities in need.

BackPack MinistryList Item 2
The Backpack Ministry, a partnership with Laurens District 55, provides students with non-perishable food items on the weekends who might otherwise go hungry. Each week, students in the program are discretely provided a bag including breakfast, lunch, and dinner items as well as a few snacks. Food is an essential building block, and in this case, it is truly a blessing, especially to a hungry child!

From time to time, we are called upon to assist with projects in our church or community. These are often simple, one day projects that can be completed by a small group. As projects arise, our Missions Committee Chair assigns the task to the list of willing volunteers.
